VANISHING THE VAN.

A Quietus Put Upon Mr.. wyrieh's En-
terprise by Col. Baylor-The secre-
tary Of War Must be Consulted.
Mr.. Wyrich's Rock Island and Daven-
port hack line is no more-for the press
ent at least. The career of the van which
Mr.. Wyrich put on between the two
cities over the government bridges and
island Monday night, was short. but
wholly satisfactory. while it lasted. to the
enterprising citizen who inaugurated
it. The bus was stopped by the
guards on its first trip, and the driver
given to understand that be must get a
permit from the proper authors
ties before he could be allowed to pass.
Mr. Wyrich soon overcame this difficulty
by calling upon Superintendent of
Bridges Fleming. from whom be received
a notice to the guards to pass the vehicle
until furthers orders, Mr.. Wyrich being
informed in the meantime that he must
see Col Baylor, the commandment, at his
earliest opportunity, and the order to the
guards would last only until such time
as permission could be sought of that
official.
Yesterday Mr.. WyrIch had an interview
with Col Baylor at his headquarters on
the island, and was informed that per.
mission must be obtained of the secretary
of war before the bus could be continued.
Mr.. Wyrich accordingly withdrew his
conveyance and will at once apply to the
officials in Washington, and il he is sue
cessful. will re-establish his line, with in
creased facilities for accommodating the
public.
1t has been intimated that the ferry and
c.. r. |. & P. railroad had finger il
stopping the bus. but this is probably
not so, as it would be difficult to believe
either corporation guilty OF such con
temptible trick upon the public upor
whom both depend. Col Baylor hs'
simply done what was his psil
duty, and there will be no diff
ficulty, it is hoped, in securing tn
proper franchise to continue the enter
prise. II the bus is not to be allowed t.
run at ten cents head, the hacks whicl
are daily extorting from the public SHOULD
be suppressed.

THE RIVER.
The Low ter--ConventiOn Talked
Office Harbor at Wabasha-

The Low Water--Convention Talked
Office Harbor at Wabasha-
The extreme low stage of the water in
the river is looked upon by old rivermen
with distrust. While they are not inter>
ested in 1t as affecting their business par
ticularly during the winter months, they
still watch its old familiar surface with O
c'oseness which marks every phenomena.
Ice gorges are the greatest danger this
winter instead of the floods from the
north. The river is so low that gorges
are more easily formed, and the ice will
pile up more firmly than as though the
bed OF the river were farther from the
surface. Sudden rises of many feet
caused by these temporary dams are ex,
pected by rlvermen, and many local
floods will be the result. The river
never was so low at this time of the year
In all its history, as far as known by
those now living along its banks. 1t
approaches so nearly low water mark
that it would take but little more drouth
to make new standard from which to
measure necessity. Last weeks rain,
the heaviest which we have had in sever
al months, will have the effect of raising
the stage little. but will only be tens
porary gain. The amount which fell was
lao inches, and it comes at a most op-
perfume time. The ground is not yet
frozen aud the moisture will sink in deep
and stay there, making a ground work
for the spring rains and making it posi-
BILE for the seed put in in the early spring
to grow, which there would have been no
chance for had it not come. An inch of
rainfall is equal to 14,500, 900 gallons per
square mile, so that nearly twenty mil
lions of gallons of watering was done on
each spare mile IN this vicinity, or several
times as much as the whole amount
pumped by the waterworks here on its
busiest days.
Arrangements are being made for con.
vention of wholesale lumber dealers and
owners, managers and captains of steam,

river men, and who are more deeply in
